摘要: The time-domain waveform of the terahertz (THz) electric field emitted from charge-ordered organic ferroelectrics α − (ET)2I3 [ET:bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene)] can be significantly modulated depending on incident fluence femtosecond pulses. Weak irradiation triggers emission, showing ∼1 THz oscillation in with more than 5 cycles and a corresponding narrow spectral shape. In contrast, strong almost completely suppresses trailing portion after first cycle, resulting over 3 times broader bandwidth. As revealed by time-resolved experiments, this modulation arises cooperative nature photoinduced melting charge order accompanying quenching infrared-activity intermolecular vibrations which strongly couple emission.
